Donald Trump specifically told former Attorney General Pam Bondi that she could not release all of the files related to the subject of the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a direct violation of the law passed overwhelmingly by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the so-called president, according to an ex-Republican congresswoman.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, who recently left the House of Representatives, revealed Tuesday on “The Shannon Joy Show” that Trump had been “blocking everybody” last year who wanted to release the Epstein files.
“He had his administration, the White House, telling … [House Speaker Mike] Johnson and [Senate Majority Leader John] Thune, ‘Stop this, do not pass any resolution to release the Epstein files.'”
“He told Pam Bondi at the DOJ — no matter what you think of Pam Bondi — he flat out told her, ‘Do not release the Epstein files.’ He was blocking everybody.”
It was Trump, not Bondi, Greene continued, who broke the law by not allowing full disclosure of what the Justice Department had in its files.
“I know he did,” Greene said. “And I don’t have any knowledge of him and Pam Bondi’s personal conversations, but I know he was telling everyone not to release the files. And his reasoning was, is people are going to get hurt, is what he said. He kept saying that.”
Greene added, “He was publicly saying it’s a Democrat hoax … saying all this stuff and shaming people. But behind the scenes, he was telling all of us, he was telling Mike Johnson, he was telling everybody, telling Pam Bondi, ‘People are going to get hurt.’”
In her final conversation with Trump, Greene said, he again whined about people being hurt.
“He told me, ‘People you know, Marjorie, people at Mar-a-Lago. They’re going to get hurt.'” And I said, ‘People have already gotten hurt. There’s over 1,000 women that have been raped by Jeffrey Epstein — and are accusing others.’”
If what Greene says is true, then Donald Trump is in direct violation of federal law and could also be impeached for obstructing justice.
Though it’s long been suspected that Trump and many of his friends were involved in potentially illegal acts, Greene’s revelations are the first concrete evidence of obstruction, which is a crime, even for a president.
It should be interesting to see if Trump tries to refute Greene’s accusations. Doing so would once again shine a light on possible criminal acts committed by him and his associates. And that’s the last thing Donnie wants to talk about.
